    摘要: A media system is described including a graphical display that presents an iconic menu and a textual menu. The iconic menu includes a plurality of icons arranged in a two-dimensional collection, where each icon provides access to media content. The textual menu includes a structured textual list that provides access to a media library including the media content. The iconic menu may be unlocked responsive to a first user input received at the user input device and may be locked responsive to a second user input received at the user input device. The plurality of icons of the iconic menu may be shuffled relative to each other without shuffling the structured textual list responsive to motion of the media system. The plurality of icons may be maintained in a fixed relative arrangement even if motion of the media system occurs if the iconic menu is locked.

    摘要: A programmable effects system for graphical user interfaces is disclosed. One embodiment comprises adjusting a graphical user interface in response to a tilt of a device. In this way, a graphical user interface may have viewable content not shown in a first view, where the viewable content may be displayed in a tilted view in response to the device tilt.

    摘要: An intuitive, user-friendly user ratings mechanism for using user ratings to affect operations of content management devices, such as PCs, and content playback devices, such as portable media players, is discussed. The user ratings mechanism can be employed on PC clients, consumer electronics, mobile devices, other entertainment appliances, or in a network environment. The user ratings associated with various digital content items generally reflect a user opinion in a binary emotional context that is virtually universally understood (for example, “I Like It” or “I Don't Like It”). In one scenario, a user can choose between two options to rate a content item, or can choose to leave the content item unrated.

    摘要: A flexible, scalable hardware input device for interacting with a variety of devices ranging from a phone, to a media playback device to a steering wheel or a tablet PC is provided. The input device includes a set of mechanical input controls, each mapping to one or more independent functions and a set of touch sensitive input control areas (e.g., capacitive), where each touch sensitive input control area receives touch input independently. In addition, one or more of the touch sensitive input control areas interchangeably overlay one or more of the mechanical input controls, whereby interaction with the touch sensitive input control areas is processed together to determine a corresponding function for controlling the application, service or computing device.

    摘要: Improved systems and methods for navigating media via a user interface, such as a user interface provided on a handheld or portable computing device, are provided. The methods for navigating media of the invention extend the navigation experience by allowing bi-axial context shifts, e.g., with respect to substantially orthogonal directions, allowing a user to conceptually preserve context associated with the navigation experience, context that is lost in one-dimensional hierarchical navigation experiences. In one embodiment, the bi-axial navigation mechanism of the invention includes a drill down twist, i.e., the transformation of a parent list of a parent screen from a vertical list to a horizontal band when moving from the parent screen to the child screen and a horizontal browsing mechanism allowing a user to browse multiple lists using a continuous band of headers.

    摘要: A media system is described including a graphical display that presents an iconic menu and a textual menu. The iconic menu includes a plurality of icons arranged in a two-dimensional collection, where each icon provides access to media content. The textual menu includes a structured textual list that provides access to a media library including the media content. The iconic menu may be unlocked responsive to a first user input received at the user input device and may be locked responsive to a second user input received at the user input device. The plurality of icons of the iconic menu may be shuffled relative to each other without shuffling the structured textual list responsive to motion of the media system. The plurality of icons may be maintained in a fixed relative arrangement even if motion of the media system occurs if the iconic menu is locked.

    摘要: Improved scanning of digital video programs is provided for by adjusting scanning rates according to the length of the video program and/or the length of the remaining portion of the video program to be scanned. Shorter video programs are scanned at a slower speed, and longer video programs at a faster speed. In alternate embodiments, scanning speed is based in part on the length of the portion of the video program remaining to be scanned. Thus, when scanning in a video program a forward direction (“fast forward”) when only a given amount of the program remains to be scanned, the scanning speed is slowed. The amount of the program may be determined either according to a fixed length or relative to the length of the entire program. Additionally, in some embodiments, different scanning techniques are used based on the length of the video program being scanned or the length of the video program portion remaining to be scanned.

    摘要翻译: 通过根据视频节目的长度和/或待扫描的视频节目的剩余部分的长度来调整扫描速率来提供对数字视频节目的改进的扫描。 以较慢的速度扫描较短的视频节目,并以更快的速度扫描更长的视频节目。 在替代实施例中,扫描速度部分地基于待扫描的视频节目的部分的长度。 因此,当仅在给定量的程序保持扫描时,在视频节目中扫描向前方向(“快进”)时,扫描速度变慢。 程序的数量可以根据固定长度或相对于整个程序的长度来确定。 另外,在一些实施例中,基于被扫描的视频节目的长度或剩余待扫描的视频节目部分的长度,使用不同的扫描技术。

    摘要: A salient control element for a mobile device comprises at least one button actuatable by a user to execute a mobile device function. The button has at least a first active state in which the button is extended or retracted relative to a surrounding surface and a second inactive state in which the button is substantially flush with the surrounding surface. The button is reconfigurable between the active state and the inactive state based upon a triggering event. The triggering event comprises at least one of receiving signals indicating a position, motion or orientation of the device, signals indicating a mode of operation or time, signals indicating that a predetermined application or service is active, signals indicating a current wireless communication, or signals indicating the mobile device is in a predetermined venue.
